Noun

A player who attempts to knock out an opponent that has been assigned a bounty or who makes adjustments to tournament play based on the presence of bounties.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION: Not every player in a bounty tournament would be considered a bounty hunter, as some players may believe the prizes awarded for a bounty are not large enough to warrant a change in strategy that might hurt one's chances of finishing in a better position.

EXAMPLE: "With a bounty on me, I play much more conservatively. Even though my opponents should know I have a strong hand when I am in the pot, the bounty hunters will play weak hands against me in the hopes of getting lucky."

Noun

In a tournament without any bounties, a player who aggressively attempts to knock out opponents.

EXAMPLE: "I'm a fairly conversative player in single-table sit and go tournaments. Especially in the first portion of the tournament, I am very selective about what hands I play, mostly staying out of the action and letting the bounty hunters take out the maniacs."
